Meditation on Approaching the Numinous

Do not go into the wilderness expecting anything. Keep your eyes down, remembering what is wild cannot be easily approached: Ask what you must ask, but ask it slant. Listen to the sound of your breath, the wind, the stream whispering over the cobbles, your heart beating madly in your breast. Just beyond flowers and stars,

listen to what whispers beneath the surface. What is it? Only, what always has been spoken. Remember everything you so desire to ask

means nothing if you cannot just be still —and hear this mystery give voice to all that must be said, in a place where words mean nothing.

— David Holper

‘Raking in the Filthy Lucre’

Editor:

Ick! I had to wash my hands twice after reading those articles (“Inadvertent Disclosure” and “Jackson’s Retreat”) about our local education administrators in the July 25 issue.

dent Tom Jackson Jr. raises questions that extend far beyond Jackson’s devastating reign that transformed the nascent Cal Poly into what in Humboldt’s parlance has become known as Cal Folly.

Who knew the field of education administration was all about raking in the filthy lucre? We learn that the university system eases out Cal Poly President Tom Jackson by dropping a stinking ton of money for nothing in his lap, along with a meaningless job title, and Eureka City Schools now retired Superintendent Fred Van Vleck collected his final paychecks while fobbing off his work to the attorney representing the district.

As an education supporting taxpayer, I resent that our trust has been exploited by these administrative grifters. Thank you for wading through their muck of evasiveness and slimy tactics to expose their grime. We have been played by those who, by definition, “are at the forefront of leadership in educational institutions, influencing school culture and ultimately, student outcomes.”

‘A Neon-flashing Example’

Editor:

Thadeus Greenson’s report of the resignation of Cal Poly Humboldt’s Presi-

During Jackson’s reign he disrespected and alienated the county’s public health officials as regarded COVID restrictions; he sabotaged and prevented a local nonprofit’s attempts to develop housing for low-income seniors; he spurned and insulted Cal Poly’s own Title IX investigators trying to eliminate a scourge of sexual abuse on campus; he scorned and abrogated Arcata’s building codes and its fire department’s capabilities by designing and building an off-campus dorm in excess of the city’s height limits; he never corrected his predecessor’s gratuitous cancellations of the university’s popular football program and vital community-oriented radio station; and finally, he took adversarial, draconian and violent actions against peaceful, non-violent, student, faculty and community protesters.

Meanwhile, while orchestrating this assault on the Humboldt community, Jackson received annual stipends totaling $417,996. Over the five years of his disastrous reign, those annual stipends added up to $2,359,980. As a further reward following his resignation, the California State University’s Board of Trustees will grant him a tenured professorship … even though teaching experience appears absent from Jackson’s resume.

Thus it is that the virulent hostility our Humboldt community has suffered from

You’re

invited to the North Coast Journal’s

the hands of Jackson and his similarly well-recompensed predecessor was fully supported and wholly financed by the CSU’s Board of Trustees.

And that, my fellow citizens, is a neon-flashing example of why college educations are so goddamn expensive, students bear disabling debts for decades, and how our taxpayers’ dollars are used to screw us taxpayers.

Of course the GOP is being disingenuous here. You haven’t heard many complaints from them concerning Jan. 6 or the promise candidate Trump has made to “free” the incarcerated “patriots” from that day.

I write this not as an anti-tax crusader, but as a life-long advocate for affordable college educations.

Because old Rob obviously has no involvement whatsoever in the deal to purchase the Jacobs Street property, right? I mean, his “spokesperson” Gail Rymer said he wasn’t involved. Or at least she said Arkley and Security National are not “buyer[s]” of the property or “involved with AMG Communities.” So that settles the question, right? I mean, when a spokesperson says it, you gotta believe it.

Except, you might say, what about all the inadvertently disclosed emails where the district’s lawyer keeps writing things that make it sound like Arkley was totally involved in the deal? (Just as all the surrounding circumstances about the deal have always suggested he was.) But I say, if you can’t trust Rob Arkley’s spokesperson, for gosh sakes, who can you trust?

This is just another one of those terribly unfortunate coincidences where a totally innocent guy with a bunch of highpriced flunkies to attest to his innocence gets unfairly tripped up by totally unfair records and other evidence. Just like what’s his name, the fat fascist from Florida who wears all the cheap makeup.

‘An Election Year’

Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassin’s bullet (“The Crises We Face,” July 18). Some GOP congressmembers immediately blamed President Biden for provoking the attack. His sin: using the phrase “put Trump in a bullseye” in a phone conversation, a phrase he intended to mean his campaign should focus on Trump.

Most people would interpret this idiom as Biden intended, but the GOP congressmembers wanted to imply Biden and the Democrats had evil intentions. Biden apologized and said he had made a mistake; he hadn’t meant to incite violence.

During the Jan. 6 insurrection, protesters shouted, “Hang Mike Pence,” while others directed threats at Nancy Pelosi. Clearly their shouts were not idiomatic; they were calls for violence.

One might ask why the GOP hasn’t now sought an assault rifle ban. What greater motivation could there be for the GOP to consider one than having your presidential candidate nearly assassinated by such a weapon?

The answer: The NRA and the Second Amendment carry greater weight than common sense, especially in an election year.

‘This Act of Civil Disobedience’

Editor:

The following is an open letter to the Humboldt County Jury Commissioner (“Without a Jury,” Aug. 10, 2023): I fully accept my civic obligation to serve on a jury. I am ready, willing and able, nor do I expect any compensation. No longer, however, will I allow you to waste my time. You sent me a summons. I filled out your online questionnaire. You should know everything about me ... especially my phone number. If you need me, call me! I will respond immediately, not to drive down to the courthouse and fill out the same old paperwork but to begin the actual jury selection process.

If you don’t call, I will assume you don’t need me. This act of civil disobedience may constitute “contempt of court.” If so, I am in contempt. It will be hard to find an unbiased jury.

Gary Sack, Freshwater

‘Redundant’

Editor:

It is gratifying to read about the number of volunteers who donated their time and worked at the California Care Force Clinic the weekend of July 12 and July 13 (“Humboldt Lines Up for Free Care,” July 18). We are very proud of the volunteers from our Humboldt County chapter of PNHP/HCA/Medicare for All. While donating their time and hard work, they recognized that the clinic illustrated the current need for a universal publicly funded, nonprofit single-payer system that would make last week’s clinic redundant because every person would have coverage and equal access to high quality medical, dental, vision, mental health and long-term care.

In the meantime, we are so very grateful to Dr. Tom Lewis and the California Care Clinics staff for setting up the clinic

for our community. We hope they return. Your services are vital.

Corinne Frugoni, Arcata

‘A Big Waste’

Editor:

The fact that the DA declined to prosecute the majority of cases associated with April’s protests at CPH, and hopefully will soon dismiss the rest, shows that the administration’s spectacle was a big waste of time and resources (“‘Regrettably Deficient,’” Aug. 1). It calls into question if the high cost and violence associated with police presence is something we as a society want to continue supporting. Do the cops even want to do these jobs? Wouldn’t y’all rather be doing something else in more comfortable outfits? Imagine if all that money instead went toward mediation services for conflict resolution and harm reduction and safe housing and community support for at-risk youth? That would bring much more peace to our streets than police will ever be able to offer. As for those who call the police to navigate their conflicts, well, maybe it’s time to question that impulse and have some personal accountability. I’d especially like to see that from CPH University President Tom Jackson Jr. It seems like it was his decision to shut down campus and bring in hundreds of armed militants (which is what police are) to harass unarmed civilians who were gathered peacefully and calling for an end to genocide. He and his team intentionally misled the public about the situation on campus and have yet to attempt reconciliation. And now Jackson is going to retreat into a high-paid professor role, having never been a professor before?

Suspicious, but OK. If he wants to stick around and teach in the department of Global Engagement, maybe he can also get involved in some local engagement. So Tom, whatcha gonna do with all that money? And how about those acres you

wanted to subdivide and sell for profit in McKinleyville? Maybe it’s time for a little land back and a whole lot of reconciliation.

Launa Wyrd, Arcata

‘The Exact Opposite’

Editor:

I read your recent article concerning the student protest at the CPH campus. It blows me away to see what our schools of higher learning are producing and preparing for society. These are nothing more than woke, spoiled brat, young people who don’t have a clue about morality and what is right or wrong.

The basic premise of the article made the students out to be the victims and the police to be the aggressors and, of course, the DA has let them off scot-free. Just imagine what would’ve happened if those student protesters were anti-abortion protesters, the entire city of Arcata would’ve showed up with torches and pitchforks and would’ve happily asked the police to taze the daylights out of them. It sickens me to see what is considered wrong today and what is considered right. It’s the exact opposite of what is right and wrong.

New $88 Million Microgrid Project Aims to Power Hoopa, Karuk and Yurok Tribes

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

Ajoint effort between local tribes, Cal Poly Humboldt’s Schatz Energy Research Center, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and the Redwood Coast Energy Authority just received $88 million in Department of Energy funding to bring a solar microgrid system to Hoopa, Yurok and Karuk tribal members in an area more prone to electrical outages than almost anywhere else in the state.

The so-called Hoopa 1101, a 142-mile distribution circuit that connects the Hoopa Valley to upriver portion of the Yurok Reservation and goes farther upriver to the communities of Orleans and Somes Bar and portions of the Karuk Reservation, is one of the least reliable in the state.

Peter Alstone, a Cal Poly Humboldt faculty scientist at the Schatz Energy Research Center who also teaches in the university’s School of Engineering, says the 2,200 or so electric customers on the circuit experience an average of more than 100 hours of power outage per year, “which is way off the charts,” noting the metric is usually measured in minutes per year.

These outages, which come proactively in the form of shutoffs due to conditions that bring severe fire risk and unexpectedly during extreme winter storms and other events, have myriad impacts, says Alstone, who served as the core facilitator between the Yurok, Hoopa, Karuk tribes, the Blue Lake Rancheria, Schatz and RCEA on the project.

On the most basic level, he says the outages disrupt lives, causing kids to miss days at school and parents to lose shifts at work, while bringing economic losses. They can be beyond inconvenient for households with members dependent

on electrical medical equipment, and can make it impossible for others to run air filters when the air is choked with wildfire smoke.

And when the power is out for hours at a time, that can lead to freezers thawing and food spoiling — a disaster when you consider nearly 90 percent of Native households in the Klamath region experience food insecurity, Alstone says, noting that “part of the way people deal with food insecurity is freezers.”

“That’s a major deal,” he says, adding that many Native households also store culturally significant foods that can only be harvested or gathered at certain times of the year for future use, deepening the layered losses outages can bring.

The current situation also brings barriers and disincentives for households looking to reduce their carbon footprints or make efficiency upgrades, says RCEA Interim Executive Director Eileen Verbeck. After all, a family that can’t take for granted their lights will turn on when they flick the switch isn’t likely to hitch their transportation needs to an electric vehicle, or even swap their gas stove for a more carbon-friendly electric one.

“It’s hard to encourage electrification for residents who have the seventh worst reliability in the state for electricity,” Verbeck says.

Alstone agrees, noting that some portions of the existing grid in these areas also don’t have the capacity to accommodate residential solar panels and on-site battery storage, referring to the situation as placing “limitations on people’s ability to participate in the clean energy revolution.”

But this new microgrid project is

designed to put an end to all that while, hopefully, creating a model that can be replicated throughout the state, nation and world.

As approved, the project will invest in and upgrade the existing microgrid system at the Blue Lake Rancheria, which shone as a beacon of sustainability during the public safety power shutoffs in 2019, when the rancheria opened charging stations and set aside rooms for people dependent on electronic medical devices, while selling gas and ice to thousands from its service station. The idea, Alstone says, is that the rancheria’s existing grid will be used to test new technologies and concepts, while building a local workforce.

The project will then build three new nesting microgrids — one each owned and managed by the Hoopa, Yurok and Karuk tribes — each featuring solar arrays, power storage and complex controls that will allow it to interact with PG&E’s existing grid to operate jointly or independently, as circumstances demand. And while PG&E will maintain the larger grid, the tribes will individually own the microgrids and control how their surplus power is sold.

“Tribes believe in the principles of self-determination as a cornerstone of tribal sovereignty,” Jason Ramos, acting chair of the Blue Lake Rancheria, said in a statement. “This project makes us even more resilient. As we demonstrated with our earlier microgrids, this nested microgrid project will advance critical technology, and that is good for all Californians. Robust microgrid technology will assist the state to reach its ambitious carbon emissions goals.”

Verbeck says the project is a scaled

Electric transmission lines in eastern Humboldt County.

Submitted

back version of a similar one pitched last year with the California Energy Commission that aimed to build about a dozen microgrids in tribal communities throughout the state. Alstone says this project was in many ways a cornerstone of the larger pitch, pairing three communities with similar needs and challenges and a geographic connection — the Hoopa, Yurok and Karuk tribes — with a foundational partner like the Blue Lake Rancheria, that has a microgrid that is already being put to “great use” but has room for expansion.

“It was natural to have these four together because of the natural proximity and the need to have Blue Lake Rancheria as a testing ground and a workforce development ground,” Alstone says. “The systems are only as good as the technicians around to service them.”

The five-year project is projected to support hundreds of jobs — about 450 during construction and about 30 in its operational phase, Alstone says.

Verbeck says she’s excited about the workforce development aspect, noting the DOE application specifies that a portion of the $88 million received will be used to develop a training center, saying it will help build local capacity for future renewable energy projects in the region.

Karuk Tribal Chair Russell “Buster” Attebery said in a press release that the tribe is “proud” to be collaborating on the project, noting it will represent a turning point for the community of Panamnik (Orleans).

“Microgrid energy will not only empower our tribal sovereignty, but provide the safeguards needed to survive along the river,” he said. “Our people will no longer fear losing their food or vital medical resources, like vaccines, as we have in the

past.”

Yurok Tribal Chair Joseph L. James said in the release that the project will “dramatically” improve the tribe’s energy resilience and represents a step toward its goal of “energy sovereignty,” noting it will “power our homes, schools, government buildings, businesses and community centers.”

In his dual role as scientist and teacher, Alstone says he’s also excited about the educational prospects, saying it will cement “this region as a leader nationally on microgrids.” Noting Cal Poly Humboldt’s addition of an energy systems degree program and the “groundbreaking” nature of the Blue Lake Rancheria project and then the microgrid project installed at the county airport in McKinleyville, Alstone says his students are “going to learn right along the people who are building these kinds of world class, cutting-edge systems.”

Verbeck says one of the most exciting aspects of the project is that it’s replicable, with the potential to offer a renewable, cost-effective solution to areas that currently have limited electrical capacity — like Southern Humboldt — or where expensive line undergrounding projects are needed to alleviate wildfire risks.

“This is designed to be replicable across other rural communities,” she says. “We’re hoping this becomes an example for other communities that are having similar grid constraints and reliability issues.”

Pro Parking Lot Measure 2024 Spending Nears $400K with Ties to Jacobs Exchange Deal

Robin P. Arkley II’s Eureka-based Security National-backed ballot measure campaign has spent almost $400,000 in its efforts to block Eureka’s plans to convert 14 municipally owned parking lots into multi-family housing developments.

According to campaign finance disclosure reports filed with the city of Eureka that detail campaign fundraising and spending through June 30, the campaign had spent $396,729 by the filing deadline, outspending the opposition campaign nearly $69 to $1. In fact, according to the disclosure forms, the campaign has spent far more on postage alone ($23,000) than its opposition has raised ($9,004).

Arkley has called parking the “lifeblood” of businesses in the downtown and Old Town areas and baselessly claimed that low-income housing “brings crime,” while separately charging without evidence that eliminating the city-owned lots would create safety hazards for his Security National employees at the company’s headquarters at Fifth and E streets.

He’s since bankrolled the efforts of a community group, Citizens for a Better Eureka, to file five lawsuits challenging the city’s plans in court, so far unsuccessfully, and launched the initiative effort proponents dub Housing for All that became Measure F.

ed Food and Commercial Workers International Union chapter, which contributed $1,000 apiece, and the Humboldt County Central Democratic Committee, which donated $1,500. The campaign also reported receiving a $1,500 loan from Humboldt Area Foundation Finance Director James Kloor.

August 9th

If passed, Measure F would effectively scrap city plans that have been in the works since 2019 to build more than 300 affordable housing units by leasing or selling those city-owned lots to developers looking to build multi-family projects. The measure would create zoning overlays on the lots, requiring that any development maintain or replace existing parking spaces, while also adding new parking for future tenants, which officials have said would make such projects infeasible financially, effectively scrapping the city’s plans. Measure F would also rezone the former Jacobs Middle School site south of WinCo to allow residential development, which proponents of the measure argue will make up for any units lost in the effort to protect parking.

The current financial disclosures document spending this calendar year, after the Yes on F campaign reported having spent $314,000 last year, while its opposition reported spending $1,932.

According to the 2024 campaign disclosure filings, Security Nation has contributed all of the $253,191.54 the Yes on F committee has raised so far, with Gail Rymer, a spokesperson for Measure F and Security National, telling CalMatters the committee doesn’t “actively solicit other donations.”

The campaign has also accrued $142,204 in debt, according to the filings.

On the expense side, the campaign reported paying Thomas Edrington $3,300 for consulting services, and $156 to Sticker Mule, a New York company, for campaign paraphernalia. The campaign ended the filing period with $3,250 in cash on hand. The Yes on F financial disclosures appear to reinforce known ties between the campaign, Arkley and the LLC in contract to purchase the former Jacobs school site. While emails released to the North Coast Journal in response to a records request indicate Harold Freiman, an attorney working for the school district, believed as late as Nov. 8 that Arkley was the entity looking to acquire the Jacobs site in a property exchange, AMG and Arkley have both denied his involvement through their spokespeople.

But the future of that dilapidated school site remains unclear, with a property exchange agreement in which Eureka City Schools agreed to trade 8.6 acres of the site to a mystery developer for a small residential property on I Street and $5.35 million in cash still in escrow. With the Eureka City Schools Board of Trustees set to get an update on that deal Aug. 8, the disclosure forms also add to the web of connections between the Measure F campaign and AMG Communities-Jacobs, LLC, the entity that entered into the contract with Eureka City Schools and whose principals remain unknown.

For years now, Arkley has loudly voiced his displeasure with the city’s plans. In repeat appearances on a local radio show,

Of the amount paid and owed to date, the bulk of the campaign’s spending has gone to political consulting, with $189,000 paid out to a handful of companies and individuals operating in Southern California, Sacramento and Tennessee.

The campaign has also spent $126,000 on campaign literatures and mailers, paying $23,000 in postage alone, with another $56,000 spent on print, radio, television and social media advertising buys, according to the disclosure forms. The Yes on F campaign reported closing the filing period with $1,085 in cash on hand.

The opposition, formally dubbed Committee Opposed to the Housing for All and Downtown Vitality Initiative, meanwhile, reported having raised $6,100 for the period, bringing its total raised in the campaign to date to $9,004.

The opposition campaign’s largest donations came from Lost Coast Energy owner Tyler Chapman and the local Unit-

Rymer, a spokesperson for the Yes on F campaign who has been paid $67,000 for her work to date with another $51,000 owed, according to the filings, told the Journal in December, “No one from Security National, the Housing for All Initiative or Citizens for a Better Eureka have any involvement with the Jacobs property swap.” When the LLC launched a website for the Jacobs deal, a frequently asked questions section proactively asked if Arkley was an owner or investor in AMG and informed readers he is not. And Arkley himself told the local radio show Talk Shop he was uninvolved, saying he knew “nothing” about AMG’s attempted acquisition of the property.

But the campaign finance disclosures reinforce that people with ties to Security National’s ballot effort are involved with AMG.

According to the filings, the campaign has paid $4,460 to Everview, the law firm founded by attorney Brad Johnson, for professional services, with another $15,250 owed in unpaid bills. In addition to his work on the campaign — and his work

filing lawsuits against the city of Eureka on behalf of the Security National-funded Citizens for a Better Eureka — Johnson negotiated with Eureka City Schools on behalf of the LLC, signing paperwork on their behalf.

Additionally, the filings document $11,190 in payments made to someone based in Sacramento named Sara Lee for consulting services on behalf of the Yes on F campaign. A woman named Sara Lee, meanwhile, acted as a spokesperson on behalf of AMG Communities-Jacobs LLC, responding to questions submitted by the Journal in the days and weeks after the property exchange agreement was approved by the school board on Dec. 14. That Sara Lee did not immediately respond to a Journal email inquiring whether she’s the same person on the campaign payroll, but we’ll update this post if she does.

The campaign finance disclosures come as the Eureka City Schools board is again slated to discuss the Jacobs site on its Aug. 8 agenda — a day before an escrow closing deadline on the exchange agreement, and two days after the Journal’s print deadline.

The deal appears twice on the Aug. 8 agenda — once in closed session for an item concerning “price and/or terms of payment” and again in open session for a discussion item to be presented by Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Paul Ziegler described as an “update” on the exchange, with the staff report noting the deal is slated to close Aug. 9 under a July 10 amendment to the original exchange agreement.

Superintendent Gary Storts did not respond to a Journal email seeking clarification on whether the deal is slated to close by the deadline or what exactly Ziegler will be presenting to the board on Aug. 8. Meanwhile, as of Aug. 6, the I Street property AMG is purchasing to swap with the district for the Jacobs site, remained in escrow itself. Charles Winship, who agreed in November to sell the property to a buyer represented by local real estate agent Scott Pesch, who later was revealed to be Johnson’s law firm, acting on behalf of AMG, with Winship saying he had been unaware his property would end up involved in the Jacobs property exchange, said his sale of the property to Everview had not closed.

“It is still under escrow,” Winship told the Journal.

EUREKA STREET ART FESTIVAL’S

LastSplash

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Photos by Mark Larson

If there’s a drab, gray concrete wall in Eureka, it’s not the fault of Jenna Catsos, Michelle Cartledge or Swan Asbury. The three women have been the driving force behind the annual Eureka Street Art Festival for the past seven years.

“It got started in 2018, when Michelle Cartledge was on the Economic Development Commission and she wanted some way to uplift the community,” says Catsos, adding Cartledge’s co-ownership of Humboldt Cider Co. and background in art led to the suggestion of “an art festival where people could appreciate art and have a drink.”

With Asbury, Eureka’s economic development manager, handling the permitting and other red tape, the trio has coordinated with sponsors, building owners, volunteers and muralists from near and far to bring color and imagination to buildings all over the city. From poignant to playful, the murals created during the festival have adorned Opera Alley, Sixth and Seventh streets, Henderson Center, Downtown

Eureka, the U.S. Highway 101 corridor, the pillars of the Samoa Bridge and South Broadway, including a highway overpass.

This year’s festival — the last, for a while, anyway — doesn’t focus on a single neighborhood, says Catsos, “because we wanted to make sure any folks who wanted a mural could get one.” And with the exception of a pair of Sacramento artists, “We really wanted to focus on our local Humboldt artists this final year.”

While proudly ensuring participating artists are paid, the trio volunteer their time “on top of busy jobs and lives” for the year-round e ort, which ramps up in the spring. “At the end of the day, we’re tired,” says Catsos with a hu ed laugh. With more than 100 murals added to a town that already boasted a collection of public-facing works via the Rural Burl Mural Bureau youth program that started in the 1990s. “We feel really accomplished with what we’ve done,” enough take a break, Catsos says. “I’m a believer in the idea that something can be wonderful without having to last forever.”

This year, the festival goes 3D with the “Slugs of Eureka,” 16 ceramic Banana slugs by artists Shannon Sullivan and Jessica Swan, curving and slithering at 13 locations. Originally, Catsos was looking for a metal artist, “then I realized we have so many incredible ceramic artists.” Planning began in January and slug making started in May. While it’s tough for her to pick a favorite, Catsos says, “I love the one that is on the Mendenhall Studios because it’s kind of poking up over the roofline.”

Among this year’s 15 murals, Catsos finds Melitta Jackson’s “Chpaana’r” (in Yurok, “Stay a Long Time”) at the Eureka Municipal Auditorium particularly moving. Funded by the county Department of Health and Human Services and the Humboldt County Suicide Prevention Network, it depicts local species that struggle to survive, as well as the message: “Tomorrow needs you, call or text 988 for crisis support.”

Asbury, a painter herself, contributed “Plants are Medicine” at Lima’s Pharmacy on Harrison Avenue. “I don’t think people

realize how physical mural painting is,” she says, adding some of the artists are “out there 13 hours a day in the sun.” Some of what she’s enjoyed most has been the community building among those artists, with meals and gatherings behind the scenes.

“It’s been wonderful,” says Asbury. “I wouldn’t wanna do this festival with anyone else,” though she and her partners would be happy to pass along what they’ve learned to anyone who’d like to take the festival on in some form or another. Art-related projects of all kinds make an impact, she says, in terms of reducing vandalism and blight, and in how a community sees itself. “There’s other things that we can do. We don’t have to saturate every wall with murals.”

Asbury knows, too, that not everyone loves murals, and reminds that the vast majority of the festival’s pieces are on private property. “And it’s just paint. You can always paint over it. It’s not forever.”

Mural artist Mir de Silva explained the backstory of “The Lost Pages” mural design on the side wall of Alder Grove Charter School:

“They wanted it to look like a page from a story book, given their love of reading at the school.” She also explained the that she enlisted Violet Crabtree, currently working on her feature film “Wildfur,” to help with the mural featuring Wildfur’s protagonist, Finnea Wildfur the sasquatch lady. (Team members included Emily Rune, Violet Crabtree, Mir de Silva and Megan Phillips.)

Mural artists Lucas Thorton and Kati Texas teamed up while painting on this side wall of Talisman Beads in Opera Alley in Old Town. Thornton’s mural was his image of “Sequoia Sunrise” and

re-working of an existing Larry Laitman landscape.

Mural artist Melitta Jackson paused for a moment while painting wildlife murals on the inside side panels of the entrance on the E Street side of the Eureka Municipal Auditorium.

Mural artist Blake Reagan was adding the final details to “The Condor Returns” on this side entrance to the Clarke Museum. He has been involved in the Eureka Street Art Festival multiple times.

Tandoori Bites Pizza Finds its Flavors

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

In the open kitchen of the former Angelo’s Pizza and, more recently, Overtime Pizza and Bar (215 W Seventh St., Eureka), chef Dlbir Singh swirls a ladle of sauce onto a circle of dough. But instead of a red tomato sauce, it’s the deep ochre of curry.

It’s one of a handful of Indian-style sauces Tandoori Bites owner Gupreet Sohal says his new restaurant Tandoori Bites Pizza will o er along with classic Italian American tomato sauce. Medium-thick California crusts will come with traditional toppings, like pepperoni and olives, but specialty pies will feature cubes of paneer, tandoori chicken and spiced cauliflower.

The crossing of the South Asian and Italian streams is likely enough, with their shared love of pu y, high-temperature breads and fresh cheeses. A fusion food of the Desi diaspora, Indian pizza restaurants, both independent and franchised, have found popularity outside our county. Sohal says he looked at those businesses, even considering a franchise himself, and the growing number of pizza joints locally before buying the former Angelo’s building, taking on the new venture with his partners, Dlbir Singh and Sukjinder Singh (no relation) from Tandoori Bites’ kitchen among them.

For the past couple of weeks, Sohal has hosted tastings with friends and family, collecting feedback on the prototypes his crew, all from Tandoori Bites, has been trying out. He asks everyone for their honest critique. “I think it’s hard for someone to say [to] the face,” he says as a mostly Indian American crowd samples the pies under the heat lamp. But as the conversation in Punjabi picks up, opinions come out and some favorites emerge.

The achari sauce, bright with Northern Indian pickling spices, is the clear frontrunner. Its kick is countered with creamy paneer cheese on top of the usual mozzarella blend. The tandoori masala pie has fans, too, with diced fresh peppers against the cumin, ginger, black pepper — one half is topped with chicken, the other with cauliflower for the vegetarian guests. The chunks of tikka chicken thigh are prepared with garam masala, yogurt, ginger and cumin.

Fans of Tandoori Bites’ butter chicken and standard curries will find the same sauce bases at the new place, complex and rich, but not terribly hot. If the heat at Tandoori Bites runs on the low end (you can still feel the burn, if you ask), it’s as much a product of Sohal’s personal tastes as tailoring to local palates. He admits sometimes visitors from south of the county line want hotter dishes but this is how he likes it. He shrugs. “I don’t like that spicy food. You can’t eat that all the time.”

In the back two rooms, video games, a pool table and an air hockey table are mostly pushed to the sides in preparation for redecorating. Sohal says he’ll keep up the big screen TVs for sports and likely add a few video games. Asked who among the half dozen staffers is the reigning air hockey champion, he asks the men in the kitchen in Punjabi. Dlbir Singh spreads his arms wordlessly and with the slightest smirk.

Garry Bhullar, who’ll be managing Tandoori Bites Pizza, slides the peel under another pie and moves it from the oven to a counter with the smooth movement and tight little jerks of a pro. The classic tomato sauce and pepperoni pie has the same solid California crust, with a soft, lightly salted interior, flat edge and just a little crispiness. The light application of sauce is bright but not too sweet under a layer of cheese and pepperoni that, yeah, you probably can’t eat every day either.

It’s been a learning curve for the staff, who Sohal says have taken a crash course in pizza making while experimenting with some 15 varieties of flour before landing on a recipe everyone likes. The success of Tandoori Bites over the last 12 years and his faith in the cooks, he says, gives him confidence. Sohal is hoping to open next month, whether the beer license is ready by then or not. Once everyone has given their opinions and the recipes are tweaked accordingly, he says they’ll be ready to set a moderately priced menu and start serving.

Sohal smiles, waving a hand at the men prepping more pies for the oven. “I don’t know how to cook anything, trust me. These guys do.” l

Hiking in the Headwaters Forest Reserve

On its 25th anniversary

By Simona Carini

getout@northcoastjournal.com

On a Sunday in early June, my friend Lissa and I planned to hike the Headwaters Forest Reserve’s Elk River Trail, about 10.5 miles. At the time, I didn’t realize our timing was perfect, as this year marks the 7,472-acre reserve’s 25th anniversary. It was established in 1999, after a decade-long effort to protect the world’s last intact old growth redwood forest ecosystem, then in private hands, led to its purchase by the federal government and the State of California.

Starting before 8 a.m. meant the small parking lot at the end of Elk River Road was empty. Interpretive signs and a wooden building half a mile into the trail remind visitors that where silence now reigns, a town called Falk was built in the late 1800s to house lumberjacks, lumber mill workers, train crew and their families. What used to be the engine house (where locomotives that hauled logs to the lumber mill were stored) was moved to the current location and turned into the Headwaters Education Center. Before Falk and beyond its existence, this area is the ancestral home of the Wiyot people.

We walked on, eager to get deeper among the trees. Entering a forest never fails to have a calming effect on me: No matter the worries and anxiety I carry, I drop them at the threshold. Once in the trees’ shadow, inner shadows retreat.

After the first mile, paved and accessible for people with limited mobility, the trail narrows, remaining flat until the 3-mile bridge. Then it turns uphill, and after 2 miles there is a junction: the beginning (and end) of a short loop that goes through a small old growth grove. We hiked it counterclockwise.

As usual when I hike among redwoods, my gaze moved from the coffee-colored, fern-strewn ground to the tree tops marbling the sky. I recently learned the

Japanese word komorebi, which literally means “sunlight leaking through trees.” It describes well one of my favorite views in the redwood forest, with the canopy filtering the light dancing fluidly with the shadows within the forest space. Big leaf maples, with moss-covered branches extending in all directions like giant green octopuses, are also accomplished partners in the dance.

Redwood trees are sculptures; sometimes the artist is fire, other times humans. I wish the old growth redwoods had not been cut to begin with. Still, observing how trees reclaim their space and restore their presence is fascinating. A young tree with roots growing along a tall stump toward the ground was just one example of a tenacity that never fails to awe me.

Douglas irises graced the ground with splashes of color ranging from light to dark lavender to deep purple. White Columbian windflower, pink to rose purple Red clintonia and other small flowers sprang from the forest floor, which was dry, making for a comfortable hike. Besides banana slugs, we saw Pacific sideband snails. Their brown shell makes them hard to spot on

the dark ground, so we paid attention to where we stepped as the pretty gastropods cannot hurry when crossing the trail.

The silence was soothing and allowed us to hear the joyous rippling of the South Fork of the Elk River, also visible at times along the trail and from the bridges. While hiking a loop offers the advantage of seeing a different environment during the hike, I don’t mind out-and-backs because, in any case, the return occurs in a different light and offers a different perspective.

Back on the paved trail, we extended our hike by taking the South Side Trail, a seasonal route (closed November to May) parallel to the main one across the river. It was while hiking this section that we encountered a vintage bathtub, its white interior sparkling in a bright ray of midday sun piercing the forest’s shadow. A startling sight, it made us wonder about the bathtub’s path to its resting place.

I thought it would probably be a relic from Falk, but to make sure I sent an email to the office of the Bureau of Land Management, which manages the reserve in

consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game. Park Ranger Anna Arsic confirmed my theory and pointed me to additional resources, including the BLM California YouTube channel (“Falk: A Town Disappeared”).

Hiking in the Headwaters Forest Reserve made me even more grateful for the forest’s advocates and caretakers of the past and present — thanks to them, we can enjoy this unique place, its light, its shade, the music of the river. What a gift!

War Pigs

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

For reasons that should be obvious to anyone with a passing interest in international news, I’ve been reading about the current evolutions going down in the world of asymmetrical warfare, specifically in drone technology. Since the days of David and Goliath, the idea of the big guy/little guy match-up being won by novel ingenuity rather than brute force has always been a compelling story, and seeing the modern technological advances of empire being used against the agents of that empire is similarly interesting. My politics have shifted so much over the years that my only real hope for humanity to survive itself is heavily invested in the forced pluckiness and adaptations of the underdog because, let’s be real, the current situation is intolerable. Setting the world on fire to make the absolute shittiest people on Earth richer than Croesus, with their eyes set to attaining immortality, is something even the Pharaohs — like Ramesses II (aka Ozymandias) couldn’t imagine. It’s a monumental failure of our species that we not only know the name Elon Musk, but that our communities are infested with toadies who have mistaken his breathtaking stupidity — and those of his peers — for brilliance. We really must do better.

What can I say? You have caught me during a news cycle involving another market crash where the assholes with money will likely unload their risk share onto the general public, and a large-scale regional war is brewing in the Middle East, from which we can expect the belligerents to escape any justice or even inconvenience. Hope still springs eternal though, somehow.

Throw a dime in the wishing well for me — and all of us — and have a nice week.

Thursday

Faun Fables are back in town, playing an immersive theatrical gig at Synapsis at 8 p.m. ($15-$25 sliding scale). Regular readers might recognize the name from an interview I did two Junes ago with the duo, creator/singer/performer Dawn McCarthy and multi-instrumentalist and Sleepytime

Gorilla Museum member Nils Frykdahl. As was the case before, this show is guaranteed to entertain in a variety of ways, theatrical and musical, and as is often the case in the charmed life of our local scene, it’s being hosted at the perfect venue to compliment and cultivate its artistry.

Friday

I am hearing news that this afternoon and evening will see the final Arts Arcata, which I am receiving with stoic indifference because I have learned to never say die about our institutions — even when the organizers of those institutions are saying it — and because Arts Arcata honestly never did much for me. Sorry, Eureka has always done this sort of thing better. But if you are nicer than me and have some nostalgic attachment to the deal, I can suggest a gig within strolling distance to settle any dancing desires you might have. DJs Anya Slayer and Zero One are posting up at the Basement at 8 p.m. for a Flashback Friday: ’90s Edition. You’ll have to see for yourself what that sounds like but, based on previous raves from this duo, I have some ideas, and they are all pretty righteous. No cover as of press time but even if that changes, it’s seldom more than $5.

Saturday

If you like day-glo and oil-slicked psychedelia from a better time, when San Francisco had more soul than capital, you’re in for a treat tonight at the Miniplex at 8:30 p.m. Magic Fig plays its own shimmering pop dewdrops of lysergic dee-lite channeled by a host of musicians from various Bay Area garage bands. Also on the band is a local gem featuring Ethan Miller of Howling Rain and Comets on

Fire, whose Silver Current record label released the Fig’s tunes. I’m talking about Winter Band, a collective that includes Meg Baird, Tavan Anderson from CV and White Manna on drums, and Ben Chasny of Comets and Six Organs of Admittance fame. This show is a lock of the week, as far as I’m concerned, and $15 at the door ($10 advance) is just right.

Sunday

No Metal Monday this week but Metal Sunday ain’t too shabby. At 6 p.m., you will find Sorcia, Witch Ripper and Tigers on Opium holding down the volume knob at the regular spot, Savage Henry Comedy Club, for the usual price of $5-$10 sliding. As always, this gig is all-ages but you need an ID to drink.

Monday

I have been using our quieter nights to showcase the music of musicians who we lost last year, and this week’s pick saw the loss of two of its foundational members, which is pretty heavy for a trio. I am referring to Japan’s Yellow Magic Orchestra, whose keyboardist/composer Ryuichi Sakamoto I wrote about upon his passing, as he was a favorite of mine. But nobody in that group was a slouch and certainly not drummer Yukihiro Takahashi, who passed in the beginning of last year. The group’s original run, from 1978 to 1984, is my favorite era, a period which saw the band essentially inventing brand-new genres of music, often in the same song. I dislike labels, but we live in a world of descriptors, so I’d say for the casual listener, the group might be classified as technopop jazz, but they blew the wheels off a lot of prevailing musical trends and created a sound that influenced every-

thing from video game soundtracks to dance music, worldwide. I’d suggest the band’s second record Solid State Survivor as a good starting point. Enjoy.

Tuesday

It’s Taco Tuesday at Richards’ Goat, which means the place is open at 6 p.m. for dinner for those in the know. Two hours later in the attached Miniplex, you will find the musical stylings of Rushadicus the Cello Goblin, a guy with a cello who has turned his musical virtuosity into something whimsically out of pocket. If that is of interest to you, $15 will get you inside for a gander at the goods.

Wednesday

Animator Don Hertzfeldt has transitioned from an early-’90s wunderkind of the festival circuit to a lasting figure in the cultural landscape. His ability to merge an expansive versatility with certain enduring aspects of his unique style is a salient feature of his later work, which is especially on display in his World of Tomorrow series: a brilliant, oddball trio of films centered around a girl named Emily and her clones from two centuries in the future. The entire series is playing at the Arcata Theatre Lounge for a Sci-Fi night that is guaranteed to scratch a few spots for those in love with animation in cinema. As is the usual case, doors at 6 p.m., the show starts at 7 p.m., with a raffle and pre-show in between. It’s $6 to get in, $10 to get in and leave with a poster. Excelsior. l

Collin Yeo (he/him) is far enough removed from the fraudulence of the Obama years to use the word “hope” again somewhat earnestly. He doesn’t expect this to last. He lives in Arcata.

Winter Band plays the Miniplex at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10.

The White Card ’s Dialogue on Race and Art

By Kelby McIntosh frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

Like a speck of dirt on a pristine white dinner jacket, a black flatscreen TV hangs starkly against the all-white set, the screen showing the intense tennis battle between the Willams sisters at the 2017 Australian Open. The sound of shoes screeching and the claps of the tennis ball being smacked back and forth on the court are silenced with the press of a button. The silence fills the Redwood Curtain Theatre until we’re introduced to our first three characters in Claudia Rankine’s play The White Card, kicking off 85 minutes of disagreements, stalemates and seeming impasses that bring “invisible” whiteness to stark visibility.

tween characters, the audience is exposed to the couple’s monolithic ideologies around Black art, such as Charles specific obsession with art centered around Black death and how it pertains to his perception of the Black experience. Or the self-alienation of whiteness from Black suffering within modern society, like when Virginia dismisses trying to understand Black issues, because she’s “not Black,” and “all lives matter.” It’s in exploring these nuances of toxic allyship and other heavy topics found within the historical Black/ white social dilemma that makes the play stand out.

Accountability Space. They hold conversations with white audience members who want to discuss their experience of the play and anti-Blackness in Humboldt, in hopes that these sessions will lead to transformative opportunities for everyone.

While the two showings I went to had some accidents and kinks to work out, like actors knocking over a tray of champagne glasses or misplacement of set pieces, the evident improv experience of those same actors managed to make those minor gaffes feel authentic.

The White Card which hit the stage on July 26 and runs until Aug. 11, is composed of two acts without intermission. The play transitions from the tennis match to the home of an influential Manhattan couple — Virginia, played by Heather Petersteiner and Charles, portrayed by Gary Sommers — who are throwing a dinner party. First in the room is Eric (Michael Murdock), a family friend and fellow Manhattan elite who wants to connect with up-and-coming Black artist Charlotte, played by RCT newcomer Steph Thomas, in hopes of buying new art for his white walls. Lastly, there’s the couple’s radicalized activist son Alex, played by William English III.

As the dinner party progresses, so do conversations about Black art and representations of race. Ultimately, it’s when Charlotte realizes the true intentions for the dinner party that the audience starts to feel the gravity of the situation and what — and who — is on display. Within these conversations and exchanges be-

While the run time doesn’t feel like enough to completely tackle these topics, between each actor’s character portrayal and the solid writing of Claudia Rankine, they are addressed well. How these issues are approached can vary from the symbolic, like the elitest couple living in a stark all-white space representing the everyday bubble of their whiteness, or expressed outright through the acting, like Charlotte’s reaction to Alex’s insufferable reminders about Black issues happening within the Black community. As a Black man existing in Humboldt, the play offers a level of relatability that I didn’t know I needed.

The play is less about Black victimization and more of what director Dionna Ndlovu calls “white work,” meaning confronting racism and the willingness to stay in the room when it becomes painful, to bear the pressure, to listen and respond. Understanding the ire The White Card could draw in delving into issues of race, the real work happens after the show with Sarah Peters Gonzales and the Whiteness

Though The White Card isn’t the endall-be-all answer for the issues it addresses, it’s at least addressing them. It feels new, not in the way it brings these problems to light, but in getting to the bigger picture and creating conversations for unity and outlining the work that needs to be done to get there.

Performances of the Redwood Curtain Theater production of The White Card are Aug. 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m., and Aug. 4 and 11 at 2 p.m. For tickets and information visit www.ncrt.net.

Trap Can’t Find a Way Out

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

TRAP. The conversation I have been having about M. Night Shyamalan movies for a decade begins with recent disappointment, acknowledges The Sixth Sense (1999), maybe Signs (2002) or Unbreakable (2000), and lands with fingers crossed for the next one. Just as I enjoy being tricked at a magic show, I’m happy to gasp at a twist and not too proud to admit I had no idea it was coming. Those early movies also had good scares, tension and strong enough emotional cores — grief, loneliness, the realization that discovering one’s purpose will not necessarily bring happiness — to let a shaky plot point or two slide and suspend a little disbelief. (Not Marky Mark as a science teacher though — even I have my limits.)

Trap, at least in preview form, beckoned less with the director’s blue-toned moodiness than the glint of suspense. The main character’s big secret already having been revealed in the ads only tantalized — what would the real surprise be? (This is the double-edged sword of branding as an auteur: People expect one to deliver as advertised.) But what seemed like a reverse-heist horror full of possibility yields mostly boredom and embarrassment.

A ably awkward dad Cooper (Josh Hartnett) and daughter Riley head into a Philadelphia stadium to see her idol Lady Raven, a Gaga/Grande-ish pop star (Saleka Shyamalan), along with 20,000 other fans and trailing parents. The crowd is blithely uninterested in the wall of heavily armed cops lining all exits, except for Cooper. We quickly learn when he’s not in Girl Dad™ mode, he’s abducting, killing and dismembering people as local serial killer known as “the Butcher.” He quickly learns the police, SWAT and FBI presence is for him and the whole concert has been arranged to corner and catch him. Cooper must now juggle fatherly bonding, building and security reconnaissance, and planning his escape amid the army of cops, led by a seemingly omniscient FBI profiler (Hayley Mills) who knows all about his mom stu .

Even putting aside the wild strategy of corralling a mostly teen girl audience with a serial killer of whom there’s no firm physical description, Trap has serious problems. First among them is the absence of any tension in what should be a cat-and-mouse thriller. Cooper makes a smooth lift here or there but never pulls o anything cleverer than a messy diversion or a costume change. And his brushes with law enforcement don’t feel perilous, requiring little more than a coolish head and a humble excuse. One wonders why he doesn’t employ the same aw-shucks demeanor and stroll out with every other dad in the place. Perhaps whoever edited the trailer should have handled the whole movie, as the former signaled a taut escape plot and the latter chugs and drags. The sloppy pacing leads to an awkward shift to a clunky second — third? — act that leaves the audience hoping for the vicarious thrill of at least someone getting out of here.

But the flight response hits hardest in relation to the tragic nepo-baby subplot, when Lady Raven’s character steps o the stage and into the action. What seems at first like an indulgence, showcasing one’s o spring’s talents in the backdrop to the action, expands into resting the back end of the crumbling story on her performance. It’s a heavy lift for which neither Saleka Shyamalan nor her formidable lashes are ready. The writing for the part isn’t much to work with — Lady Raven never develops beyond two-dimensional perfection and professional contouring — but her delivery is more suited to Instagram than film. It seems impossible that even

parental bias could blind a director to the mismatch and even less likely that he hadn’t heard of the brutal reviews young Sofia Coppola endured after her father swapped her in for an ill Winona Ryder in The Godfather Part III (1990).

Hartnett deserves credit for bringing an oddball dark humor to the role, such as it is, with his Cooper goofily imitating normal humans, navigating a weird interaction with an aggressive mom and feigning shock at the goings on. But he isn’t able to make us care much one way or the other about the killer or his escape beyond how much longer it’s all going to drag on. The hints at his childhood and the infallible insights of the profiler are easy tropes, and even his occasional self-awareness is thin. The genius serial killer is a cliché we probably need a break from, but is tracking the moves of a lackluster one any kind of fun?

Neither secrets revealed nor characters outsmarting each other are very exciting, and some of Cooper’s moves feel like cheats. By the time the credits roll, red herrings feel like gestures in more interesting directions the movie might have taken. The most unexpected twist may be how long the director’s cameo lasts. (Spoiler: too long.) Trap should have been a scary, tense and alive with sudden turns and tight timing. Turns out it was dead the whole time. PG13. 105M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. ●

If and when humans land on Mars, fresh vegetables will help keep them healthy and happy. Image via NASA

in the skull and eyes flatten, causing vision problems. Even with two or more hours of hard exercise everyday, bones still atrophy and ISS crews take months to recover their previous fitness after returning to Earth.

y love affair with Mars goes back decades, when I’d hang out with members of the Mars Underground, a small group of University of Boulder science alumni who ate, talked and slept Mars. Then came the excitement of annual Mars Society meetings, the name of which says it all. More recently, I’ve been speaking and writing on the dream of humans landing on, exploring and, inevitably, terraforming (creating an Earth-like environment) the planet. Seems Elon Musk has been swallowing the same pills I used to, since he’s proposing to have a self-sufficient colony of a million Earthlings living on Mars by 2050, transported there by a thousand-strong fleet of SpaceX Starships. If only.

Over the last few years, slowly but surely, reality has overtaken the dream. At this point, I can’t see a manned mission to Mars happening anytime in the next 50 years. As for colonization, it’s centuries from now, if ever. Terraforming? We’re looking at a timescale measured in, not hundreds, but thousands of years. Here’s what I’m basing my pessimistic assessment on:

Getting there: The only practical way (“Hohmann transfer orbit”) to get to Mars is to take advantage of regular launch windows, which occur every 26 months. It will still take nine months each way, and a return trip — launch to touchdown back on Earth — will take 34 months, with 16 months spent on Mars itself.

The difficulties are enormous. For instance, radiation: No humans have spent an extended period outside of the womb of Earth’s protective magnetic field, which (along with our thick atmosphere) protects us from the worst of the sun’s UV rays and from energetic gamma radiation from beyond our solar system, aka cosmic rays.

Then there’s the nine months, each way, of weightlessness, which International Space Station astronauts have to deal with; our bodies evolved to pump blood and water around in a 1-G environment. When weightless, bodily fluids flow to the head and upper body. The brain sits higher

The Biosphere 2 experiment showed just how psychologically fraught a trip to Mars could be. In the early 1990s, four men and four women, all highly motivated and chosen for their ability to adapt and to get on with others, spent two years in the Biosphere 2 enclosure. Their experience was, to put it mildly, disastrous. They barely made it, exiting in two dissonant groups (think Lord of the Flies) who wouldn’t speak to each other. And they were living in a luxury environment compared to the crew quarters of any proposed Mars vessels.

Landing: Only 40 percent of attempted landings on Mars have been successful. The EDL (entry-descent-landing) challenge is enormous, especially when compared with landing on the moon, where you just need a reliable retrorocket. For Mars, you’re hitting the planet’s thin (less than 1 percent that of Earth) atmosphere at around Mach 2, enough to burn you up but not enough to slow you down efficiently. We’ve used combinations of airbags, a “skyhook” crane, retrorockets and parachutes, all of which involve hundreds of perfectly timed sequences. If any one of these fails, the crew wouldn’t survive.

Living on Mars: Where to start? Radiation on Mars is about the same as in space. In Mars’ thin atmosphere and without a magnetic field to deflect ionizing radiation, any life on Mars would be fried. There’s talk of finding caves or building dirt-covered shelters, but anyone on the surface will be in immediate danger. (I don’t think living like troglodytes for a year or so is on the agenda.)

More challenges next week. l

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE

COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2923.3 WAS NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE THE LOAN IS SECURED BY NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED APRIL 3, 2016. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by the duly appointed trustee, as shown below, all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the obligation secured by said Deed of Trust. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

TRUSTOR: Mor Wendy Yang, an unmarried woman

DULY APPOINTED TRUSTEE: Harland Law Firm LLP

DEED OF TRUST RECORDED: April 19, 2016

INSTRUMENT NUMBER: 2016-007139 of the Official Records of the Recorder of Humboldt County, California

DATE OF SALE: August 29, 2024 at 11:00 A.M.

PLACE OF SALE: Front entrance to the County Courthouse, 825 5th Street, Eureka, CA 95501

THE COMMON DESIGNATION OF THE PROPERTY IS PURPORTED TO BE: Zoned Timber Preserve Land located near Willow Creek, CA. Directions to the property may be obtained by pursuant to a written request submitted to Harland Law Firm LLP, 212 G Street, Suite 201, Eureka, CA 95501, within 10 days from the first publication of this notice. See Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof for the Legal Description.

Amount of unpaid balance and other charges as of July 17, 2024: $180,710.13.

Beneficiary may elect to open bidding at a lesser amount.

The total amount secured by said instrument as of the time of initial publication of this notice is stated above, which includes the total amount of the unpaid balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of initial publication of this notice.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If

you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 707-444-9281, Attn: John S. Lopez, or visit this internet website www.harlandlaw.com using the file number assigned to this case 2024-004148. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 707-444-9281, Attn: John S. Lopez, or visit this internet website www.harlandlaw.com using the file number assigned to this case 2024-004148 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

DATED: This 17th day of July, 2024 in the city of Eureka, and the county of Humboldt, California.

Frank Shaughnessy

February 1, 1960-June 21, 2024

After an almost four year battle with kidney cancer, Frank Shaughnessy, 64, died on June 21st, 2024, surrounded by his beloved family. Frank was the husband of Christel Rasmussen Shaughnessy whom he married in Ebeltoft, Denmark, 29 years ago. He was the father of Dion and Fiona Shaughnessy, whom he loved without reservation. Frank was predeceased by his parents Anne and Jim Shaughnessy.

Frank grew up in Sudbury, MA and attended St. Johns in Shrewsbury, MA for high school. After majoring in Biology and English, Frank graduated from St. Lawrence University, NY in 1982. He earned a Masters of Science in Botany at University of New Hampshire in 1986 and a PhD in Marine Botany and Ecology from the University of British Colombia in 1994. He taught at UBC for a year before working as a Post-Doc at Louisiana State University.

Frank started a position at Cal Poly Humboldt in August, 1996, as a Biology and Marine Botany professor and worked there until his retirement due to illness in August 2021. For several years, he co-chaired the Biology Department. Frank’s main research interest focused on the population and community ecology of marine algae and seagrasses. He was a founding member of the Coastal Ecosystems Institute of Northern California (CEINC). This year’s Humboldt Bay Symposium was dedicated to Frank for all his contributions to estuarial and marine ecology in Humboldt Bay and the North Coast (see below for scholarship information for students who share Frank’s interests). Although research was important to Frank, he found teaching truly fulfilling. He loved taking his students on field trips all around the North Coast. Frank spent endless hours working to ensure every one of his students had the opportunity to succeed. He won the Distinguished Faculty Award in 2021,

as well as the Outstanding Faculty Award from the Disabled Student Group. Frank’s priorities are encompassed in the title of the last lecture he gave on campus: “The Classroom’s Human Connection: Personal Engagement Between a Student and Instructor and What That Means for Equity and Inclusivity During the Learning Experience.”

Frank was a lot more than the “seaweed guy.” Aside from his family and his work, he pursued several other passions. He was a dog lover, an accomplished woodworker, and major cyclist (completing 7 Tour of the Unknown Coast Rides and 1 Death Ride). A masterful gardener, Frank always appreciated when passerby complimented or photographed his profusion of flowers.

A progressive thinker and environmentalist, Frank held himself and those around him to a high moral standard. He was courageous, inquisitive, supportive, kind, determined, witty, and at times, stubborn and opinionated.

Besides his wife and children, Frank leaves behind his sister Anne Shaughnessy and her partner Susan Epting of Groton, MA and his sister Maura Shaughnessy and her husband Bernie Regenauer and their children Colin and Brendan Regenauer of Wayland, MA. Frank also leaves behind his devoted friends, particularly those in the Arcata, CA area who supported the family throughout Frank’s cancer journey.

A memorial service will be held in Arcata, CA in early fall. Memorial donations may be made to: 1) Students who share Frank’s interests: Please make check out to CEINC (address CEINC, PO Box 806, Bayside, CA 95524) and put Frank Shaughnessy Scholarship fund in the note, and/or 2) Maura’s Pan Ma Challenge Ride (MS0008 egift#) which benefits Frank Shaughnessy Kidney Cancer Research fund at Dana Farber Cancer Institute (pmc.org).

In Memory of Mattie L. Culver

August 1938 – July 2024

It is with great sadness that we share with you the passing of Mattie Culver, beloved Sister, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, (Grandma Gee Gee), mother-in-law and Nurse. Mattie was an amazing woman, who provided love, encouragement and support. She lived her life with integrity, style, grace and determination. Mattie has 3 children: Daniel, Kathy and Karen, 6 grandchildren, Michael, Matt, Ricki, Rhonda, Alisha and Jake, and 9 great grandchildren- she loved all her family and was an active part of their lives.

Mattie worked as a meter-maid for Eureka PD, then after obtaining her Nursing degree she worked as a Home Health Nurse, Public Health Nurse, Public Health Nursing Supervisor, a Nurse Practitioner in Dr. Burleson’s office, then as temporary Nursing Director and Supervisor in Public Health Nursing, then worked 7 years in the California Children’s Services Program. Mattie loved learning about other cultures and lived and worked as a Public Health Nurse in Tok, Alaska. She also loved fishing and while their landed a 135lb halibut. She also joined the Peace Corp and spent 2 years working in Malawi, Africa. Mattie made friends wherever she lived and worked. Mattie was a positive role model and mentor for many Public Health Nurses.

Mattie was the Matriarch of the family bringing us all together for barbeques, fishing, fun on the beach, Thanksgivings and the family reunion. Family and friends were always welcome at her home. Mattie became a master gardener and many people have admired the landscaping she did on her property at the corner of Hodgson and W street. Mattie was a lifelong learner. Mattie was an artist, painting a landscape on the wall in Karen’s room when they lived on “L” street, in Eureka. Mattie also enjoyed going to the casino and “winning big” and seeing her friends there. Mattie enjoyed the book club, kayaking and having breakfast with the kayak club. She enjoyed making pottery. She enjoyed having her hands in the dirt in h er vegetable garden and enjoyed her many flowers.

We will miss Mattie’s kindness and love and she will remain forever with us in our hearts and actions. There will not be any funeral services per Mattie’s request. If you wish please make a donation to Hospice, Palliative Care, the Arcata Breast/GYN Health Project or volunteer at an event that promotes the health of our community.
